The hands are white gold with red tips and paired with a group of rhodium-plated indicators to complement the blue PVD and reddish color scheme I mentioned earlier. The identical color scheme are located in the power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock, which I found to be a lively touch considering just how much of an afterthought most power book indications seem to be in additional timepieces.Roger Dubuis paired the Excalibur Quatuor Cobalt MicroMelt using a blue alligator leather strap comprising red stitching and a Grade 5 titanium clasp. While I can not really remember the last time I found an alligator strap with stitched accents, I found the matching color scheme for a nice touch that brought even more balance to the watch.This is really Roger Dubuis doing what they do best – creating intricately sporty horological miracles that experiment with new materials. It’s a luxury based on theatrical design and material innovation. Additionally, it is a watch that almost all of us will never get to call our own, since they are only making 8 of them at a price of 390,000 CHF.Limited versions in the world of luxury watches are absolutely commonplace. When you start talking about watches that are a limited release, and limited to a particular country, things sometimes get interesting. This frequently takes the kind of a watch that is available only via a boutique that resides in said country.

Driven by the passion for cutting-edge technological complexity shared by Roger Dubuis Watches Replica Replica and Lamborghini Squadra Corse, the ultra high-performance Excalibur Aventador S Blue live up to the partnerships “Powered by Raging Mechanics” signature. This model is propelled by the specially developed and impressive Duotor (double balance wheels) concept in a totally revamped 312-part RD103SQ movement. This calibre is notably distinguished by engine strut bars revisiting the iconic Roger Dubuis Astral Skeleton principle, striking an astounding contrast with the rest of the movement, as if the engine ‘hood’ were transparent. Recalling the performance-enhancing longitudinal placement of Lamborghini engines tailored to the design of the sleek, streamlined cars, the double balance wheel is inclined at a similar angle, supported and highlighted by holders shaped like triangular wheel suspension assemblies. This exclusive Roger Dubuis movement embodies an ongoing evolution of the Maison’s impressive expertise, entirely reinterpreted to suit this proud automobile alliance.

Akin to its 2017 eight-piece limited edition “Arancio Argos” predecessor, the highly exclusive Excalibur Adventador S Blue is crafted from the same C-SMC carbon as that used on the actual Lamborghini cars. As the ultimate indication of its royal bloodline, it offers a true-blue experience with a black and Neptune blue bi-material strap, blue rubber over-moulding on the case and crown, and blue markings on the fluted carbon bezel.

This high-octane launch also herald the firing of the gun in February for the Super Trofeo Championship 2018: the legendary Lamborghini one-make series of which Roger Dubuis is a main sponsor. The Excalibur Aventador S is limited to 88 pieces and its price amounts to CHF 180,000.
